What does "really good" mean to you? Please tell us more about your requirements, such as: * usage scenario (music listening, recording, games, home theatre, ...) * PC-side interface (PCIe, USB) * number of audio channels in/out needed and their signal type (microphone, phono, line, headphones, digital interfaces) * sample frequency / bit depth * signal processing on the soundcard (MIDI to PCM, Dolby whatever, ...) if needed at all
